There was no scenario where I wouldn’t love this article, but it still far exceeded my lofty expectations. Just tremendous.

Really good stuff here. Captures a lot of what I feel. This is the least interested I’ve been in an upcoming Mavs season in a very, very, very long time. But it does feel like it could be one year of transition before we move on from the sneakers salesman.

I’m not sure how many seasons of TV I’ve enjoyed more than Task.

Cool cool cool

Holy shit they lost to the Pels?!?! Keep em coming. It’s the only way this thing will ever heal.

I’m certainly glad they ruined a lot of people’s careers and forced them to defend his actions on the road to this most obvious conclusion

I’ve worked in sports a long time. My least favorite type of people are those who think fans are beneath them. And nobody believed that more than Nico Harrison. So respectfully, good riddance.

Ok. Step one done. Now, the interim brain trust needs to tear this thing to the studs. I’m not convinced they will though.

It is not hyperbolic to say loudly that the fanbase got this one done. With more passive fans, they could have rode this out. They are only stewards. Don’t ever forget your role.

somehow the 18 year old gave the best answer on this. this is the guy, man. he's legit.

Hell yeah we won

there is a weird race-baiting narrative around Nico’s firing emerging. Don’t fall for it. youtube.com/shorts/aR8WiLg…

One of this show’s producers is either a Mavs fan or just enjoys mess.

Crazy how things look when people play their natural positions…. Keeping so many 5s and 4s coming into this season was just insane. (And make no mistake, Coop and PJ are both 4s)

This has been true for basically the whole season. If they wait too long, he will become a truly negative asset and require adding things to offload. A pick and expirings is the bar at this point.

Just to reiterate, the instant the lottery was won, Nico should have been fired and AD (and all other veterans of value) should have been traded. This isn’t second guessing, I said it at the time.

There’s so many people out here that haven’t come to grips with how dire things are, even with Flagg. The salary cap is beyond toast, and the ability to add talent is so thin. The saving grace is Flagg is so young, he’ll still be 25 when this thing finally resets. But what a slog

A Dirk fadeaway from the nail to tie Dirk on the list. Pretty cool.

Ok, step two of Mavs reset complete. Now, just avoid giving Kidd any more power and we can all start to think favorably about the future.
